The Government engages to hand over swo the Company the Thunder Bay section of the mulway so soon as completâ€" ed, the Pembing b anuch now in working order, the British Colummbia section from Yale to Kamloops when finished, and to build a branch from Yale to Port Moody, ninety miles in length. These several seeâ€" tions when compteted will cost about $35, 000,000, which, tog»ther with the bonus of §25,000,000, and 25,000,000 acres of land at $2 per acre will muake a grand total of $110,000,000 as the price paid down by Canada for the construction of the Pacific Railway. â€" Last April, Mr. Sandford Flemâ€" ing estimated the entire cost of the work at $80,000,000, : tor the bevefit of the actual settier at a rea onable price.

The chief points of the scheme have been already published in these columns, but the doeuâ€" ment submi‘tted to the House contains a great deal of new matter, which was not even dreamt of by any one ; which in fact, BAatly contradiets the poblished statements of Ministers and their orgaus, but which shows clearly two things: first that Sir John, in withholling the terms from the public until this late hour, hos ziven freâ€"h evidence of uis disregard for the luterests; of the comntry, when tho interests of his pascty are in jeopardy; aad second, that the’ swcalled burgain is no bargain at allâ€"the | Company having dictated their terms and the Government surrendered everything.

Agrarian outrages continue to be perpetrated, and landlords are constantly threatened by the members of the Land League. So disturbed have some sections of the country become, and so widespread has the spirit of rebellion diffused that the mgistrates have informed the Irish Exeâ€" eutive that they could not enforce the law. In these cirenmstances the Government has been urged to adopt coercive measures and suspend the Habeas Corpus Act. Howâ€" ever, milder counsels have prevailed, and now it seems to be dstermined to summon Parliament early in January, and then if the state of Ireland does not improve that â€"In view of the disastrous legislation eonteraplated by the Government in the matter ofthe Canada Pacific Railway the GLbe advises immediate petitioning of Parliament for the rejection of the scheme, and the adoption of a more economical method of constructing the road.

In the sneech from the Throne, the Governorâ€" Gâ€"neral is n.aude to say that the "existing tamff has promoted the manofactures and other products of the country."

And we see it in the arguments of the Pres byterran proâ€"organists as they appeared in your columns. ‘Prosbyterian‘ winds up his telling â€"letter by attacking Mr. Nicol personally, showing by this his inability to meet his opponent with arguments, and also showing his dissatistaction with l;i‘-l own reasoning. T 7 ECCA ETS supporter, will not allow the offering of in censeâ€"the praising of God with the He brew drum and dancing, and other thing: that were practised under the Old Dispen sation, though they are not expressly for bidden ia the New. * . Austin is in wast of an arciktant Pn Sn ies o necesss me 2 meeest‘y ‘Presbyterian‘ soys the has also stigmatized as foolish the argument that what was enâ€" joived and practised under the Oli Disâ€" pensation, and nothing espressly said nâ€" gomst it in the New Testament, may proâ€" perly be practised now.‘ What Mr. Nicol did say, was *It is a very foolish argument to say that because mmstrumental music was enjoined and practised under the Old Dis benamtion, and nothing expressly said aâ€" gaiast i; in the New Testament, therefore organs may properly be used. Between Mr. Nicol‘s two statements and ‘Presby-{ terisu‘s‘ there is a difference which must be plain to any inteliigent person ; for alâ€" though we admit of the abrogation of the cevomonial laws in the New Disvensation, we do not admit that the Old and New Testaments should not be our rule. Tt is easy for a correspondent, sereened by an anonymous name, to garble the statements of others, and taking these statements as correct, he may easily prove that his opâ€" ponent is wrong. â€"It is plain that Mr. Niâ€" col‘s ‘argnments cannot be .confuted by ‘Presbyterian‘, tor the Church whose docâ€" trines he (Presbyterian) is professedly a Weeulsug s y 2 o w 1 L 1 our highest and only rule.‘ What Mr. Niâ€" col did say was ‘that the preeept und pracâ€" tice of the New Testrment should be our highest and only rale, both as to the pracâ€" tice in worship which wo are to observe, and which we are to omit.‘ And again, suub ce 0+ c ns i . . i In your issue of the 2nd inst., *Presby. byterian‘ agrin appearcd in reply to a letâ€" ter by Mr. Nicol. As it is probuble that Mr. Nicol will reply, I will not take up much of your valuable space. *Presbyterâ€" ian‘ says ‘he says that the precept aud practice of the Nsw Testament should be Confession of Faith agrees. with this stateâ€" ment it must be wrong,. . In the Confession of Faith, chap. 19, section 8, it reais ‘Beâ€" sides this law commonly called moral, God | was ploased to give to the people of Isrnel I as a church under age, ceremonial laws, containing typical ordinances ; partly of worship prefiguring Christ, Ins graces, ncâ€" tions, sufferings, and benefits, and paitly holding forth divers instractions ot moral duties," In chap, 21, section G, ufter referâ€" ring to religtous worsh p, it reads, tbut God is to be worshipped every where in spirit and in truth.‘ From which we see that worship and moral duties are typilied, and that the worship is to be in spnit and in tuth. So that Mr. Nicol‘s statementithoâ€" roughly agrees with the Seriptures and the Confession of Faith : and the heterodoxy falls whoilly on ‘Presbyterinn,‘ for he hus iunplied that if worship be typified, the doeâ€" trine of sinless perfection must be sustain ed. If ‘Presbyterian should ha‘g)en to be a minister of the Presbyterian bureh, L would recommend him to ponder over the ‘ advice which he so generously tendered to Mr. Nicol, when accusing him of beiugl heterodox. wnited to see if he ha olfins othor tuar insinuations, tuat t 2:% which he :?E. th? segfi ment ‘Instrumental nusi¢ m ds typical of Ui@ Melody of the herrt, that is the spirâ€" itual joy, love, adoration, &e., of the saints as we have defined true praise.‘ For so expressing himself, ‘Presbyteriau‘ accuges Mr. Kigoliof beifig. heterodox, andâ€" he iti> plies that he (MÂ¥, Nico!) should Le treated gccordingly. Let us now see what the Scriptures say on this subject." In Ephesiâ€" ans. elinpter 5, verse 19. it reads, ‘Speaking to yourselves in psalms and byrmns and spiritual songs, singing and making meloâ€" dy in your heart to the Lord.‘ James, 5th enap, 18th verse, ‘Is any among you afflicâ€" ted? Let him pray ; Is any merry ?

The hall was well filled and all present wore well satisfied with the the songs, &e., which were rendered in their own peculiar way. their â€" Sabbath _ School Anniversary on Christmas Day. No doubt there will be a good time also. The Canada Methodists intend holding their Sabbath School Anniversary â€" on the evening of Christmas Day, A good time may be expected, and all are cordially invited. The new Church of England was dedicat ed last Sabbath. Services were held morn. ing and evening. The building was crowd ed to overflowing at each service. As the Municipal Elections are drawing nigh the excitement over the two contestâ€" ants for the Reoveship runs very high, and ecanvassing is becoming more vigorous. and betting is said to be of frequent occurâ€" rence, and some very large amounts too. But we have not heard of any pools being sold vet. Owing to family troubles and unfavoraâ€" ble weather Mr. John Hanbury‘s skating rink has not progressed as fast as it would have done had cireumstances been favoraâ€" ble. ‘The framework was about half erectâ€" ed, and presented a magnificentappearance when, on last Tuesday morning, the whole thing gave way, fell to the ground and beâ€" came a mass of ruins. It was a narrow escape, as four heavy men were working on the top of the building the evening preâ€" | vious to its fall. But Mr. Hanbury is not easily daunted, although he has suffered a loss of about $100, he is determined to push the work on and rebuild at once ‘The following day the Proton Council met at Mr, James Reid‘s Hotel, and every member was at his post like men, and hayâ€" ing a large amount of business to transact, it was a pretty late hour at nigh:t before the question of submitting the byâ€"law came in course. The room was crowded to overâ€" flowing by anxious spectators, to witness the actions and decision of the Council in that matter. . The Council, after long conâ€" sideration, due deliberations, scratching of heads, and great perspiration, &e., &c. Two of the members, with great fear and tremâ€" bling, managed to move and second the reading of the Byâ€"Law for the first time. But in the meantime they were assured by our worthy Reeve that they wouldneverbe called upon to read the Bill the second and third time. Whether the Reeve anticipatâ€" ed that those members who were so dilaâ€" tory about putting their names to the paper would not be elected to office, or that the Council would not be called upon to do so we do not know. ‘The meaning of the exâ€" pression is best known to himse‘f.
